This is hard for me to talk about but, here goes..
I have emetophobia. Which is a phobia of throwing up. (I have trouble saying the 'v' word). I worry about it a lot. I don't eat take aways much, I make sure meat is cooked completely, I wash my hands a lot, I get very panicky when I feel sick.
Anyway, I can't trace a moment were the phobia started. I havn't had any traumatic experiences involving this as far as I'm aware.
I've had many bad experiences involving needles, but I have no phobia of them. Experiences such as fainting, dizzyness, injured nerves, having a needle scraping across my eye to get sand out, multiple attempts at finding veins, but I'm not scared or fearful of them.
So what I'm asking is, why am I so afraid of throwing up?
